OpenDDS Programming with C++

Goals

The OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) for Real-time Systems is a publish-and-subscribe service designed to meet the performance, scalability, and quality of service needs of real-time and embedded systems. OpenDDS is an open source C++ implementation of the OMG DDS specification. This course provides students with a working knowledge of the DDS specification, the OpenDDS implementation, and hands-on experience developing applications using OpenDDS.

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Understand the Data Distribution Service's role in developing distributed applications
Define custom DDS data types using OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL)
Create DDS publishers and data writers, and DDS subscribers and data readers
Understand DDS Quality of Service (QoS) settings and apply them to DDS entities

Audience

Application developers and technical project leaders whose applications can benefit from a publish-subscribe communications model.

Duration
